Providing Data

The Dashboard Designer allows you to bind various dashboard items to data in a virtually uniform manner. To learn more, see the Binding Dashboard Items to Data topic.

The only difference is in the data sections that the required dashboard item has. This topic describes how to bind a Chart dashboard item to data in the Designer.

The Chart dashboard item has the following data sections.

The Values section contains data items against which the Y-coordinates of data points are calculated. The Options button next to the Value data item allows you to select the series type and specify different options.

The Arguments section contains data items that provide values displayed along the X-axis of the chart.

The Series section contains data items whose values are used to create chart series.

Note

The Chart dashboard item allows you to manage the coloring of their measures and dimensions. To learn more, see Coloring.

The Chart dashboard item provides the capability to transpose chart arguments and series. In this case, data items contained in the Arguments section are moved to the Series section, and vice versa.

To transpose the selected Chart dashboard item, use the Transpose button in the Home ribbon tab.
